FLAMES IN A THEATER.

The Royal Theater at Exeter, Eng
land, Consumed.---A FrI9htfuI
Panic.
LONDON, Sept. GA theater at Exeter
took fire last night during performance
of "Romany Rye" The occupants of
the pit after an awful struggle escaped,
but most of them were greatly injured.
There was only one exit from the gal
lery and the crush there was terrific.
Scores were trodden under foot and suf-
located. A fire escape was brought to
the window, and many inside were res
cued. The structure burned was the
Theater Royal. 1t was built after the
latest designs and was deliberately fitted,
being one of the prettiest in the king
dom. There was full house and every
thing was all right until the end of the
third act at 1890, when drop scene
fell and in moment the whole stage
was mass of fire. A wild panic ensued.
The occupants of the stage, pit and
dress circle escaped after q dreadful
crushing, many being badly bruised.
The
ACTORS AND ACTRESSES
were in their dressing rooms when the
fire began, and all escaped. The fire
originated in the flies and spread rapid
ly, filling the theater with dense smoke.
The occupants of the upper circle and
gallery rushed to the windows, scream
ing frantically. Many jumped from the
windows and were injured. The theater
hose was brought into use in few min
utes, but the water had little effect on
the flames. The actors and actresses
were taken from the windows with lad
ders. They lost everything except what
they had on at the time. Up to the
present time $50 bodies have been re-
covered. Thirty injured survivors have
been taken to the hospitals. The FIRE
burned throughout the night. The
search for bodies proceeds slowly. In
many cases every shred Of clothing is
burned off and the bodies look black
and raw. They are almost unrecogniz-
able.
LArER-l40 KILLED, MOSTLY WORKING
PEOPLE.
LONDON, Sept. 6.-The victims by the
burning of the Theater Royal at Exeter
last night were mostly working people.
In many cases, fathers and mothers
both persisted and numerous children
are thus left without means ofsupport.
Some of the bodies were burned so that
only a small cinder remained. The
number of persons severely injured is
sixty. The death list will reach one
hundred and forty.

Bazaar for it's benefit about the middle
of July. They ask earnestly for assist
ance from every one, but as the. friends
and well-wishers of the Hospital thro'

and personal appeals, they wish thro' the

believing that a response will be liberal
and generous. Butter, eggs, chickens,
fruit, peacock feathers or fowls, gourds
and flowers will be especially acceptable
and may be left at Powell and Snider's
store, Corner Patton Avenue and Square
during the second week in July, those
gentlemen having kindly promised that

Destructive Floods in Pennsylvania.
INV telegraph to the Asheville Citizen

By telegraph TO the AsheVille Citizen.
P1rTsBURG, Pa, June S.-A spe4
cial from Johnstown, Pa, says: The
f9od yesterday was caused by u
water spout west OF HooVersvills, q
village on the line of the Somerset
& Cambria railroad. The village
was entirely under water, and the
destruction of property is great.
Many thousand logs belonging to
the Latrobe Lumber Co. passed here
Yesterday. Bridges above here were
carried off. The Kernersville bridge
was partly destroyed. rhe destruc-
ton OF property is enormous, but
the amount cannot be ascertained
now. At Bloomeryille the work of
the food is appalling; upwards of
twenty residences were washed off
their foundations and deposited on
the ground. At least one hundred
families in this borough alone lost
everything in the lower story and
cellars of their houses. The water
having subsided, the scene to-day is
one of d moralization and ruin.
Yards and streets are blocked with
debris and rubbish, houses filled up
with water>soaked goods aud mud
and multitu les of women and chill
dren standing about weeping and
mourning over their ruined homes,
In Grubbtowp, Conemaugh, Bor-
ough, Morrisville and other places
the same scene is presented, and it
is estimated in the sections and in
this city that 200 people we're rem
dered homeless and dependent for
shelter on the charity of their more
fortunate neighbors. No estimate
can be made Of the damage at pres.
ent, but it is thought that it will
reach $4,000 in this vicinity alone,
mo lives, so far as known, were lost.
